Ok, here's the situation in our house

1 desktop PC with cable modem & Linksys wireless router
3 laptops with wireless cards, using the wireless connection

We have no problems with our connection, however, it is unsecure. I have NO idea how to change this. Not only do I want to protect our connection from neighbors using our internet, I want to secure it so everything is not being broadcast all over the place.

I've seen the terms SSID, WAP, WEP, MAC, etc., but I have NO idea what any of it means or what I'm supposed to do with it.

Any step by step tips on how to make our internet connection secure? The last time I tried, it kept all of our own personal laptops from connecting to our own internet.

Thanks!
